Frequently asked questions

Budget Manager supports any recurring or one-time IT or security expenditure — software licences, SaaS subscriptions, managed service contracts, hardware support agreements, professional services, cyber insurance premiums, and consultant fees. Each line item is categorised by type (Security Tool, Infrastructure, SaaS, Cyber Insurance, etc.) and sub-category for detailed tracking.

Each budget line item includes a renewal date field. The Budget Manager dashboard surfaces a renewal calendar showing which contracts are coming up for renewal within the next 30, 60, and 90 days. This prevents surprise invoices from auto-renewing licences and gives your procurement team advance notice to renegotiate terms or plan replacements.

Budget Manager automatically calculates security-specific spend by aggregating all line items categorised as Security Tools and Cyber Insurance. This gives you a clean security budget figure and a security spend percentage of total IT investment — a metric increasingly requested by boards, auditors, and cyber insurance underwriters.

Budget Manager data flows directly into the Financial Impact Analysis module, which uses your total IT spend, security spend proportion, and cyber insurance coverage values to calculate a financial impact grade. The grade reflects whether your spending pattern reduces financial risk adequately or leaves significant exposure in a breach scenario.
